I’m releasing my magazine-style theme, Upstart Blogger Futurosity Magazine. Originally designed for one of my other blogs (Futurosity), this theme offers offers a custom home page and is multi-author ready.
Demo
Download
Download Upstart Blogger Futurosity Magazine.
You no longer have to subscribe to download this theme, but please subscribe to Upstart Blogger anyway (you can also subscribe via email). Subscribing ensures that you’ll be notified of updates and new releases.
Installation
To install Futurosity Magazine:
- Open the UpstartBloggerFuturosityMag folder, then upload the ub_futurositymag folder to your WordPress theme folder.
- Open the plugins folder inside the UpstartBloggerFuturosityMag folder. Upload the contents to your WordPress plugins folder. Go to the Plugins tab in your WP Admin and activate the plugins.
- To select the theme, go to the Presentations tab of your WordPress admin and select Upstart Blogger Futurosity Magazine.
- Go to the Users tab and enter a description for yourself, which will appear under your name on single posts and on the author archive pages. If there are additional authors on your blog, have them login and add descriptions.
Upgrading From a Previous Version
If you are updating Futurosity Magazine from a previous version and have modified only the template files, you can just replace your existing style.css file with the new one in this version. If you want to add the new tags for WordPress 2.3, see the Codex on the_tags and wp_tag_cloud. It’s very easy to add these tags yourself.
If you’ve modified the style.css, you can examine the new style.css file for changes.
Change this line:
.home #content ul li.latest-excerpt{font:11px/12px Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;list-style-type:none;margin:0;padding:0;width:145px;}
to this:
#content ul li.latest-excerpt{font:11px/12px Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;list-style-type:none;margin:0;padding:0;width:145px;}
To fix the blockquote problem, change this:
.single .entry-content blockquote p:first-child:first-letter{color:inherit;float:none;font-size:1em;text-transform:uppercase;}
.single .entry-content blockquote p:first-child:first-line{font-variant:normal;text-transform:lowercase;}
to this:
.single .entry-content blockquote p:first-child:first-letter{color:inherit;float:none;font-size:1em;text-transform:uppercase;line-height:18px;margin-right:0;}
.single .entry-content blockquote p:first-child:first-line{font-variant:normal;text-transform:lowercase;line-height:18px;}
Modifying Futurosity Magazine
You’ll want to modify Futurosity Magazine before using it. This will require hand editing some of the template files. You can do this with any text editor, or by going to the Presentation > Theme Editor tab in your WordPress Admin.
There are comments in the template files marking areas where you can safely edit, but be careful.
To Add Thumbnails to the Home Page
- Make sure the Get Custom Field Values is activated. This plugin is included in the theme download.
- Go to Custom Fields under where you edit the post in your WP admin.
- Under Add a new custom field type post-image in the Key field.
- Enter the address for the image in the Value field. For example:
http://www.upstartblogger.com/images/feedbot.gif- Click Add Custom Field
Apple-style Search
Inside the UpstartBloggerFuturosityMag folder is a folder called applesearch. These files style the search box to give it an Apple look. Upload the contents of the applesearch folder (not the folder itself) to the root directory of your site. If you use permalinks that include subfolders, you will need to hand code the full path to your root in applesearch.js and header.php.
Plugins
Four plugins are recommended and are included. Here are the links, if you want to check that you have the latest versions:

History
0.1 First released 09.04.07.
0.2 Released 10.04.07. This update adds tags to make Futurosity Magazine WordPress 2.3 compatible. Tags are now displayed at the bottom of individual posts and a tag cloud is displayed at the bottom of the page. I’ve also fixed the text size of latest posts so they are consistent on the home page and individual pages, and fixed the styling of blockquotes.

@Robert: Could you make the video showing how to setup the theme available again? Reason being it has some helpful information that people may find useful, that and it may save you from alot of questions. I was able to figure just about everything out minus the image posts, which I think was in the video. Thanks for the help.
@sternz: I had to remove the video because of the Altera trademark. Sorry. I’ll try to find some time to redo it or post some intsructions.
I had a feeling that was the reason you had to take it down. I was wanting to say it was something to do with a “custom field” using “post-image”, but I can’t remember it all.
I’ve updated the theme page with instructions on adding the thumbnails to the home page.
Glad to know I was on the right track. Maybe I am starting to learn some things afterall. Thanks for the help.
Hey Robert, just thought you would be interested to know that I finally got around to having a play with this theme for the online home of my print magazine. Thanks again for making what I think are the best themes in the biz freeley available. It’s a shame you’ve got to leave us, but I wish you all the best in your new projects.
Any feedback or critisicim would be very welcome, but bear in mind it’s a hack job from a code alergic print guy.
Cheers.
@Danny: Love it! Very nice job, and the mag looks great, too!
Hi all.
first of all I have to tell you this theme is really cool, but I have some questions about it, I don’t know if you are using Internet Explorer, that’s because I have some questions, I have installed it on my wp_blog it was just afew munites, but if you see with IE you can get an error in the left button corner. it says some error in line 79 error 3, I think it’s java script, but I don’t know if you know how to fix it.
I hope you can understand me, because my english is really bad, I from MX
justmag[AT]gmail[DOT]
Kind regards.
thank you very much for this great unbelievable theme. i use it on http://www.fakeblog.de
i made a lot of changes to your original futurosity theme, that´s why i decided to call it “overstand theme” for me. but futurosity was a good starting point for me.
i added a special iealternate.css file to deal with some problems in the internet explorer lower than version 7.
thank you for this great work again.
keep on doing such a good job.

Hi, I am using Futurosity Magazine theme for our blog:and one question I have right now: how do I get the “post a comment”
feature implemented?
Thank you for your nice theme and I also hope you’ll keep up the good work!
I found out about the ‘post a comment’ thing.Easy. Sorry.
Great theme! This is pretty much what I’ve been looking for!
But…
I’m having trouble figuring out how to manipulate which categories show up as columns of the ‘latest’ posts at the top. I want them to span across all 6 columns, but it shows only a couple of the post categories that I have. How do I make it show a category in each of the columns?
I’m trying to edit the categories in home.php and single.php, but I’m not sure what it is I have to change to force it to show a category in each column.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Can you post back the link to the tutorial video. It will be easy.
Thanks again
@Doulos: Sorry, but I had to take down the video because of trademark issues and haven’t had time to record a new one. But I hope to have a new video or some more instructions posted soon.
Hey does anyone know how to fix the problem with the bullet points? My bullet points appear correctly in Livewriter and WordPress but the theme only indents the first line. Cheers, J
Oh I forgot to add some praise… this theme is amazing (now called Futurosity) and I am still finding easter eggs like “added these pithy words” etc etc… atypical… really cool…
@jonasrisen: I’m not sure exactly what you mean, but did you change anything in your style.css file?
Hey there:
What appears in the “Sited” section (aside from any image that I put there)?
@Andrew: The “Sited” section is meant to be used for asides, quick posts containing a link to something noteworthy you’ve seen on another site. Just change the category number in home.php to match the category number for your asides.
Thanks for the clarification on Sited. One more, how can I get links to show up in the excerpts within the 6 columns on the main page.
I code it correctly, it shows up on the individual post page, but not on the main page.
@Andrew: Please read the Upstart Blogger WordPress Themes FAQ.
Robert, another request for the video here.
I loaded up Futurosity back when it was Altera and am only now getting down to implementing it but am having some real trouble getting things to format properly (mainly noticed on IE6) and getting the categories to appear as they should in the top section.
Can you please help? Visit http://www.spiritofsaab.com to see how things are going so far, but help is needed to make it all it can be. I have a big Saab-loving audience on my other blog and I think Futorisity is exactly what I want for this new one. It’s a great, great theme if it can be implemented right, but is quite complex for a non-geek.
Please bring back the helpful videos.
Cheers. SW
@Steven: Please see this post in the forums, which should tell you what you need to know.
Your site looks great, BTW!
Hi,
I am so new at this website stuff that I don’t even know what the terms are called to ask the right questions or look up the answers.
How’s that for a primer?
Please tell me what the code is to put photos under the Performance, About, Contacts, etc.. page headings. I want to accent that blank space on the left side with concert photos, but beats me where to start. Can you help, or at least point me at the FAQ of your site that will explain it?
Thanks,
Stephen
PS. Your work is fantastic. All other blogs I’ve seen look like the same ole’ same old. thank you.
Thanks a lot for this elegant, kick-ass theme..
Hi,
i am using your theme on my page 7daysawake.com . i really like the design. but one thing doesn’t function. i can’t see links. is this an issue you know?
thanks for your help

Heyhey Robert/Ashely…
I love this theme… andhave adapted this theme to try and get it as close to how I would like my site to work… a portfolio / cms type thingy….
but I am still struggling with the single post page…
http://tinyurl.com/27j4ys
I don’t want to have the previous and next post link on the left hand side, but everytime I try to get rid of the code for the navigation bar, the post column/text jumps below the left hand column (instead of staying in the centre)….
Also, I’d like remove the forced large letter and uppercase for the first line of the post… I thought this might be some tinkering i need to do in the css file, but alas still haven’t quite figured it out…
any help, much appreciated – thank you!
BEAUTIFUL themes, i was looking for a mag style theme for a while, this one is perfect and easy to use…
Still working on it bblogit.com but thanks again !! proudly represent the UpStart crew…
BEAUTIFUL !! I love the theme, i think we can do great with a lil’ work, for myself i use it like a Fashion WebZine – Thanks a lot…
Hey,
Anyone can tells me why WordPress is displaying all posts twice in my homepage ?
I found out about the display problem. Thanks again for this very “journalistic” theme !
Very nice theme, I love most of your work!
Simple and great
Hello, I’m using Futurosity Magazine Theme in my weblog and I love it; but I’ve discovered that the home page does not work properly with Internet Explorer. The first two column are showed in a very ugly way. I’m afraid I made a mistake modifying the code but I don’t know where. Please, can you take a look and me what can I do to fix it up? Thanks a lot.
http://www.jaimecin.com
Hi again. It’s all Ok. I’ve changed the code again and now works properly. Thanks.
probably one of the most legendary themes of 2007…
I’m playing around with the futurosity magazine theme and for some reason on some (not all) of the pages, the actual page layout itself will jump to the right about 5 pixels.
It’s noticeable on this site: http://susurrous.com/ when you compare the main page to http://susurrous.com/art-city-screen/
Im also asking for help with you theme! This theme is my inspiration for my ezine project. But it is really difficult for me to manage the templates handly, so could you share you video tutorial one more time? or send me a link to it. Thanks a lot for you work!
Roman from far far away (Siberia-Tel-Aviv)
I’m setting up a major portion of my web site with Fururosity and was wondering if you’ve had the chance to test it with the upcoming release of WordPress 2.5? I’ve done so much work on the bit that I have almost finished, when I found out about the new release I thought I better ask before moving forward.
Thanks!
artist-at-large – I haven’t tested it yet but there is nothing in the theme that should cause any problems. I’ll post an update once I’ve got my hands on a copy of 2.5 and tested all my themes. Great blog by the way.
Thanks!
Hi!
I am setting up the Futurosity theme which is one of the greatest I have ever seen and want to use it for a website. I am working om localhost on my computer so hard to show but what I would like to know, how can I display more – actually 6 cetegories on the home of the theme. Default is 3 categories showing latest posts but I would like tu use the whole space for showing articles from six categories on fron.
Is it possibe? I think I have not found it here in the discsion and in the FAQ there isn’t Fururosity Theme.
Thanks in advice!
Kamil
The theme is very nice, but i am having trouble customizing it.Only the posts under the category of uncategorized in coming in the home page, and only 1 column is coming.
could you tell me which php files to check and what kind of changes.
Hi, thanks for the template its great ! Im using it for my site http://pangeaday.sg/
http://www.pangeaday.org/ > the international site
I try to used this nice themes, but feel little confuse about customizing. However thanks for your template
I am trying to upgrade futurosity mag theme to the new wordpress 2.5. And it doesn’t seem to work. Please visit my website http://www.taggingart.org. Is there a update of futuorisity mag, which could solve this problem?
I’ve tested a clean install on wordpress 2.5 and the theme works without a hitch.
Annette – I can see the error message you are getting, it seems to be a widget issue. Try downloading the theme again and using a clean copy to see if that helps.
http://www.taggingart.org -> i dont see any links or credit for the author of the template
Sorry. Now there is and thanks for looking into this.
This is a great theme, exactly what I was looking for.
Could you tell me how to display only one post-image for each category on the home page? I would like to have the titles and excerpts of 2 or 3 of the most recent posts in each category, but only 1 image at the top. Thanks!
Hi,
I get only the ‘uncategorized’ category in the home page, even if I have 6 posts asigned to 6 categories … does anybody knows how to fix it ? Anybody who got the same and repaired before ?
Thanks !
Ok, resolve it ! I’ll copy my comment to Forums, sorry, it’s a so cool thème that nerfs and passion take over !
In home.php you just replace the number after ‘category’ with some CATEGORY NAME you created, then it works.
By default you have:
?php $feature_post = get_posts( ‘category=1&numberposts=1′ ); ?>
Then you change to:
?php $feature_post = get_posts( ‘category=BULGARIAN COOKING&numberposts=1′ ); ?>
And the same, A SECOND TIME : some lines below THE SAME OPERATION.
I have no category called Bulgarian Cooking, it’s just an example. Cheers !
Thank you for nice theme !
Please. I would like image in header, but I don’t know how create and where …
hello i hope you have happy time in the studio,
i have a question……..we have a non profit association in South France, to develop the use of the Internet, site creation, design…………. and one of our “partner a “biovivre” it is a shop who sale “green” products they never had Internet site before, they don’t know how and what, so in the frame of the association we create a site for them based on WordPress, (they will not sale products on the site) and we proposed FuturosityMagazine theme, they love it. and the question come here: we have been inserting an image in the footer, and the credits looks strange on the top of the pic, we have a little space on the left of the
footer, so IF you agree we create a page with the credit holders as you, the pictures used in the design, and we put that link in that space on the left of the footer, without changing the original footer structure just the “visible” parts of it the don’t have a mess in the graphic design.
Naturaly if you say no we will not f* around, without your permission, but we hope we can find some solution together.
If you would like to see we can send you the address…………now it is closed to the public
have a happy day

Hi, got yet another customization question. I’m trying to add tags after the title of a post on the homepage, and it won’t show no matter what I try. The tags show just fine on the single post page, but not on the homepage. Everything else (the_categories, the_title, the_author, etc) works fine though, which is strange. Any thoughts? Thanks

THANKS!!!
Hi, I would like to know how can I move de pages [right, top] , so they go under the blog name.
Thanks!
Quick question: on the main page, is it limited to only two columns for categories? If I add more than two, they seem to disappear and I can’t get to them. Could you help me out.
Thank you very much for this beautifull theme!!
Hi there, great theme, love the way the text is aligned in the posts, just one of the reasons why I really gotta have this theme
I got this weird idea to fill up the front page with columns of sidebars in stead of the present category columns of excerpts – ultra magazine style! Sidebar 1: recent post excerpts. Sidebar 2: A comment wall. Sidebar 3: Recent comments. Etc.
So now I’m trying to create more than one sidebar. In total I’d like 6, that I can control from the widget panel.
I’m following the instructions here: http://www.divitodesign.com/2008/09/multiple-sidebars-with-wordpress-widgets/ But the code in this theme is different from this tutorial, and I make the page and admin go blank every time I give it a try…
So I was hoping some one could give me a hint about how this theme must be modded to create multiple sidebars. That would really save my day! Cheers
hi–
does anyone know how to change the default RED font of this theme?? I’ve looked through the style.css file and cannot find the code for the red font color. if anyone knows, could you please, PLEASE post a reply here? or you can mosey onto my website and leave me a comment there with instructions. thanks.
Hello, i like your theme structure. Is posible to make any change on your original theme? because i like your theme base structure and i want to make few change on it. But i will still leave your link credit on my new theme.
Thank you
James
Simple n Beautiful,
i love this code
@ Avi Basu (and Others)
…from the forums…
______________________________________________________
What you have to change is the category’s “ID number”.
When you create a category, and when you match this category to one of your posts, WordPress ‘generate’ an ID category number, that you can find just going to your blog, clicking on the created category you are interested in, and checking its number in the URL, for exemple : http://www.charlesbronsoncakes.com/?cat=30
Then, you come back to the Theme Editor in your Admin Panel, you go to home.php, and there you write our exemple ‘category=30′ where it was written ‘category=1′.
What you had :
?php $feature_post = get_posts( ‘category=1&numberposts=1′ ); ?>
Your change :
?php $feature_post = get_posts( ‘category=30&numberposts=1′ ); ?>
and the same some lines below, and for each category block, until you have written 6 different categories ID for the 6 columns.
Sorry, thanks. I hope internet is still working after my interventions.
Hi!
I would like to have the “post a comment” feature in all pages (not just in articles) and I can’t undersatand the “Add a key+value of “comments” to enable comments on this page” instruction…
What can I do?
Thanks a lot…
Howdy. I’m having a very difficult time getting the categories to display properly on main page. Initially, only posts under the default “Uncategorized” would display, until I made the change in home.php that to fix the same problem at Anonymous had. I changed the Category=1….stuff to Category=Music and so on with all my categories but the page is still displaying the “Uncategorized” category in all six columns and the two most recent posts instead of displaying it under the appropriate category.
thank you for the Theme. I have modified it a bit. so , it is quite interesting now.
take a look. http://www.animatrick.com
best.
hello,
i have been doing something funny with futurosity,
it is still under construction but the main direction f putting it is there already.
still the articles pieces are missing but some main “col”s are there.
greatings
wangjel
How do the categories work on the main page. I can’t get any other categories to post except for uncategorized? Any ideas what I can do to fix this? or Am i missing something… couldn’t find anything in the FAQs
Ryan,
I encountered the same problem. You have to physically change the home.php file under the Theme Editor. Each category has a number assigned to it which you can discover by writing some posts under a particular category and then checking the URL when you select that category.
More info here:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/162394
Another fellow posted more information above also.

Hi. Thanks for providing this theme. My site is based on it. I made several modifications:
http://www.monfresh.com
Just FYI – I’ve been using Futurosity and love it. The layout has helped me focus on a just a few main categories for the web journal. It’s nice how the confines of the design are quite freeing for the content.
has anybody translated the theme to spanish language?
Thanks for a great theme. I’ve modified it slightly and am running it on my site. I love it and think it’s one of the best free WP themes out there.
Hi. I’m using this great theme on http://pistachepelado.com
However, I’ve run into a small bug. When I tried to validate the XHTML, I got some errors… I thought I had cleared most of them until I tried checking out the post-image functionality. I get the_title() function inside php tags in the HTML markup. For now I just left the alt attribute to blank.
BTW, i found your site yesterday and digg the themes. clean and elegant and under the hood it’s very tidy. Has anyone else had the problem of posts dated this year not showing up?? And one more thing, how can i change the favicon? I would like to have my own branded icon working but doing it the conventional way does not work and i can not find where you control this. doesn’t seem to be in the header.php
Hey for some reason certain categories will not show up on my home page: http://brightmacuser.com
When you go there you don’t see the “Software” and “Guides” Categories. Why?
hello Ashley

.form-textarea{background:none;width:460px;height:340px; font-size:12px;}
.formcontainer{background:none;width:460px; font-size:12px;}

and again have happy time…………

Hey, I have your theme running up here: http://joid.bloomland.cn. Is not finished yet, I wanted to still change some of the font types so I can go away a bit from yours.
Thank very much for the great work!
Wonderful theme…however, I think it needs to be made more clear how to set up the categories. If it wasn’t for one of the posts above, I would never have figured out to grab the id number from the URL after creating a category. I don’t think very many people would figure that out. Love the design though, and thanks again.
Can anybody tell me how to make additional sidebars in this theme? Would be very helpful, thanks!
I’m using this theme for an organization – site is http://www.osmig.org. Not finished yet though. Hope you like it
Ooh, if anyone knows how to get the theme to display comment avatars, I’d be much obliged
Just want to say that I love this futurosity design. I think I found an older one version but it was the ‘minimal look’ I was looking for. I chopped it down a bit to look less like a blog and more like a webpage. I am going to fill the white space below the title with my logo once I have it finished. But for now, it look quite cool regardless.
I am not a programmer but have been making my own websites since about 2000. This theme is quite easy to manipulate- with a lot of trial and error (This only took me a day to finish. I had all the text/images from my last WP theme.)
I used the Voluptua theme before I switched to this one. Something about this theme makes me love it.
Keep up the good work!
Terence
i have problem :/ . I can’t make so many columns as You have here > http://www.upstartblogger.com/wpthemes/ ( I mean : Blog Design , News , Features , Interviews etc ) . I was created many categories and posts , but I have only one column ( this first ) . Anybody can help me ?
Hi,
Thanks so much for your theme.
Is it possible to use only tags, and not have any categories at all?
thanks

Hello,
many thanks for the awesome theme! I use it now on http://www.creative-crossing.com and
…I like it!
Kind regards,

This theme definitely needs some serious modernization. I think I might be just the gal to do that job. ^_^
Hello, you are asked to tell if someone will use this template on his blog.
I am not a webmaster only fan who has decided to take his Russian translation of WordPress templates.
In short, my blog was created based on the Upstart Blogger Futurosity Magazine.
Excellent and very plastic theme, thank you.
I’ve always thought the Upstart Blogger themes were beautiful and easy to customise. I don’t do much blogging anymore but I’m looking forward to keeping up with the new stuff!
Hi Upstart! I have more than four posts and only one appears on main page, you know what might be happening? Thanks.
Hi!
Love the theme, and I’ve implemented it on my site!
But I jsut came across a problem. I’m creating test categories with test posts, so see how the my page will look like when all the categories are there on the home page with latest posts under them. I had only 2 categories for now. What happened was that I created the 3rd category, and put a post in that, and it appeard on the main home page. But when I created the 4th and the 5th, nothing appeared. I named those categories FEATURED and DEVELOPMENT, and even renamed them to see if it was the name. I deleted them and created them again, this time hoping it will fix it…but still the same. any suggestions?
This is awesome!
But how did you setup the second row of categories? i.e. on http://www.creative-crossing.com/
I’m trying to modify home.php.
It seems I can only do 5 categories per row, with a sidebar. That’s ok.
I want 2 rows with 5 categories (columns).
I appreciate the help!

Hey all!
Fantastic theme… I love it!
However, I just noticed my site ( Oxstones.com ) displays poorly on IE8. It’s perfect on Firefox.
Any ideas on how I can fix this? What could I be doing wrong?
The header is very small on IE8, a small arrow appears for some reason, and on some IE8 installs of my friends… the top row of content and the pages link list overlaps the top categories.
Thanks for the great theme and help!
Adam
It should work on IE8 but, as with everything related to Microsoft, who can really tell what works and what doesn’t? I am reasonably certain that it works fine under IE9, which should mean that your friends will all see things correctly once Microsoft forces one of it’s never ending fixes and updates at them.
Hi there,
We’re a little french association using this really great theme as our wordpress page, thanks a lot !
I just have one question:

I really thank you, if someone got an answer.

Hi, trying to make a site using your amazing theme, but like some people above I seem to be having problems with categories. If you look at my site http://www.friendsrate.com you can see I have 3 categories that work and I added a few more that aren’t showing. (you can see the tag books in the tag cloud leads you to the category books which doesn’t show in the main page)
Any ideas?
Well seems like there is no help on this thread.
Pity… nice theme can’t understand why it doesn’t work.
@Andy, I wasn’t the one who designed the theme, but I’d be happy to take a look at it.
Thanks for the offer Flavio I ended up contacting someone I found on this thread who has it working and he told me how to solve the problem.
In the home.php you have the following code:
……
By default this is repeated 6 times up to category=6
I had created a few categories that weren’t being used so I guess I had more than 6 so I copied everything between ……
Pasted below the last category and changed the number to category=7 (there are 2 places where you need to change the number. I repeated this for for category=8 category=9 etc.
Thanks to Sven at creative crossing for taking the time to explain this to me.
Andy
